Reading the insurance rows. BI&PD means bodily injury and property damage liability, the cover a carrier must hold to operate in the United States. Cargo insurance applies to the freight being carried, and the surety bond, usually the BMC-84, is the proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. A carrier may be obliged to maintain a policy that is not yet on file, so read any required-but-not-on-file line as a reason to ask for the certificate before you dispatch.

Frequently asked questions about AFFORDABLE MOVING COMPANY, INC.

Is AFFORDABLE MOVING COMPANY, INC. licensed to operate?

The authority status on the federal record reads Active – Common Authority. That wording is quoted from the registration record rather than being inferred, which tells you exactly which authorities the carrier currently holds and whether a revocation is in progress. The register is operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and any revocation or suspension is recorded in the official snapshot.

Does AFFORDABLE MOVING COMPANY, INC. carry insurance?

The filing shows BI&PD liability on file at $750,000, against a federal minimum of $750,000. The entry shows cargo insurance as On file, and the surety bond is Not on file. Ask for the certificate itself before a load moves, because this page reflects the federal filing, which is not always updated the day a policy is issued.

Is the carrier an owner-operator or a fleet?

The registration separates private carriers, who haul their own goods, from for-hire carriers. Here the private carrier flag reads No and the enterprise flag is No. That matters when you need a dedicated or contracted asset rather than a one-off spot quote.

What freight does the company handle?

It is registered as a Household Goods Carrier. The property carrier flag shows No, the passenger carrier flag is set to No and the household goods carrier flag reads Yes.

How can I verify a carrier before booking?

Three steps, in order: check the USDOT number and read the authority status, compare the insurance required against the insurance on file, and confirm that the phone number you are given matches the one published on the operator's own listing.

What does USDOT 1147641 mean?
